A PUBLISHING FRAUD.
How a Chicago Journal Cole cts
From Subscribers.

MONTGOMERY N. Y, Sept. 16.-Prob-
ably one of the most gigantic frauds
ever perpetrated on the public has re-
Gently been consumated by the pub
Usher of Chicago monthly medi cal
journal. Three years ago this publisher
made proposition to several thousand
country papers to insert his advertise
ment, in return for which he would
send his paper without charge as pre-
MUM to all who paid the country pub
fishers years subscription in advance
or otherwise. Every publisher that ac-
cepted his offer availed himself of the
privilege of having the monthly sent
free to all his subscribers. Three years
passed and it was then time to spring
the trap. At the end of the first year
the Chicago man did not cease to send
his paper to all who were not wise
enough to have it stopped. When he
supposed he had them between two and
three years in his debt, he notified his
subscribers by means of blue envelopes
from the Chicago and Cook County Col
lection agency, 172 La Sale street, to
pay Immediately from 81 to S5 in order
to save suit. A large meeting was held
here last evening by the indignant blue
envelope holders, who resolved to fight
it out. 1t is said that Newburg was
struck for $4,000, and how extensively
the game was played through the United
States is yet to be aScertained,

driver of Gossip thought it time for him
to be doing something, and consequently
a pretty contest was given from the
first quarter, where Gossip took the
lead. The horses paced In bunch to
the stretch, Gossip still in the van,
closely pressed by Wilkes, but near the
turn the latter left his feet and Budd

place. 1t was nearly dark when this
heat was finished and the judges post
poned the finish until this morning at 9
o'clock, when the running race, one and
one-fourth miles, for purse of $500
will also be decided. This decision was
greeted with satisfied expressions by
numerous NUM- gentlemen in very loud plaid

against the chances of Gossip winning
the race, where if he had been kept at
his work the remainer of the evening
he would have had no trouble in captur.

Murder and Suicide.

BALTIMORE, Sept 16.-E. B. Coolidge,
Calvert county farmer, walked into
his wife's bedroom on Tuesday night.
where his wife and her sister were read
ing. He had gun in his hand and told
his wife he was going to shoot her. She
sprang to her feet and took the gun
from him, and her sister, Miss Turner,
ran out of the room for help. Before
she had got tto. the front door Coolidge
had drawn his revolver and shot his
wife through the breast. Mrs. Coolidge
died instantly. To make sure of his
work, Coolidge opened razor and cut
her throat. He then started down stairs
to find Miss Turner. Not finding her, he
went to his children's room and asked
them to come to their mothers room
to see him die. The children were afraid
to go and Coolidge returned alone to his
dead wife and cut his throat from ear to
ear, falling dead by her side.

THE CLOVER CLUB.
A Jolly Reception Given the Chief
Executive,


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-The din
ner of the Glover club this evening was
red letter one in the history of that
famous coterie of diners and wags.
Covers were laid for $50 at the Bellevue
hotel. Among the more distinguished

song, ''Three Cheers for the Red, White

the side of the president, Mr.. Handy.
President Handy then, with mock So

Between the heats of this race there
was special match race between the
PAGER, Johnston, and the trotter, Harry
Wilkes, for purse of $1,000.
but it was mere farce so far as any
contest was concerned, Johnston getting
the best of the start each time and lead
ing the way all around the track, obedi-
entity followed by Wilkes. There was
hardly ripple as the winner came in,
but the time made was pretty good, and
especially if it is taken inio considera-
tiOn that he had to draw road wagon.
For the three heats the time was 2:161,
2:1514, 2:154.
Close finishes and good sport marked
the free-for-all pacing race for purse
of 81 200, and in two of the heats scant
head only separated the contestants.

The Condemned Anarohists.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The condemned
Anarchists held consultation this
morning as to whether they would do
anything to help themselves. Every
man voted against petition for execu-
tive clemency, and three against an
appeal to the supreme court. No
matter what they decide to
do themselves their friends will
try to secure ;, reversal
of judgment. That failing, they will
circulate a petition asking for commu-
tation of sentence. Nina Van Zandt
declined to discuss the decision. Her
eyes were red with weeping, and she
appeared almost heartbroken at the
news that her lover, August Spies, was
condemned to die on the galloWs.

best not to do so and the line of march
was only through the main avenues.
The traction engines and separators
kept perfect time to the marches played
by the band. and all passed off without
a hitch. 1t cost the exhibitors about
81 500 to prepare for the parade, but it
was money well invested. The value of
the machinery was estimated at 81, 15O,-
GOO, and the capital represented was
500, 100000. There were 364 manufac-
tories represented, employing over
10000 hands. There were 1877 teams in
the parade. People who had paid only
passing glance at the various imple-
ments on exhibition in the machinery
department. were surprised at the mag
nitude of the display, and the superin-
tendent of the department has the sat
isfaction of knowing that the display
under his charge created more COM
ment than that of any department yes

Of people stop to look at E. M. Hallowell

sleighs in Carriage hall. This display
is thought by many people to be the
best arranged, most conspicuous and
most interesting of any on the ground.
1t certainly deserves place among the
very first. There is no better known
house in the Northwest. Since their
place at 505-511 Minnesota street, St.

recognized as leaders in their line.
With such house one need have no
fear OF misrepresentation reputation

THE FAKIRS COMPLAIN

Several s'fakirs" who have been al
lowed to do business at the Fair grounds,
and were subsequently obliged to quit,
complained to the officials yesterday
that they had paid literally for their
privileges to some special policemen on
the force of Marshal Chapel. Two men
from Minneapolis, named Marsh and
Miller, who were running Swindling
yesterday and were later al
they bought their liberty from
the officers by giving up all the money
they had, aggregating more than s100.
Two representatives of ''blind pigs -
which have done a thriving business on

the officer who was detailed to prevent
liquor selling. Three special police
were brought before President Merriam
yesterday and discharged for having
taken bribes from swindhng operators.

Anyone who fingers about Carriage

place Oct. 1, at the cOmpany's office,

Some one is certain to be made happy.
In conversation Mr.. Mailer remarked !:
'Well, l can tell you one thing-We'Ve
got in stock now in st. Paul, more wag-
ons, carriages, buggies, cutters, ETC., than
any other three of the biggest dealers in

at the great variety of vehicles which

statement. A person that could not Sc
